What to Do If You Smell Gas Right Now
Gas odors are serious and should never be ignored. If you smell gas in or around your home, treat it like an emergency until you know otherwise.
If the smell is strong, hissing is present, or you feel lightheaded or dizzy:
- Do not light matches, candles, or use any open flame.
- Do not turn electrical switches or appliances on or off.
- Open doors and windows if you can do this safely and quickly.
- Get everyone, including pets, out of the house right away.
- From a safe location, call your gas company or emergency services.
When the gas company arrives, they may shut off your gas, cap lines, or lock your meter until a licensed contractor repairs the issue. That is when Super Brothers Plumbing Heating and Air steps in. We locate the leak, repair or replace the problem sections, and prepare the system for testing and restoration.
We work with utilities and inspectors all the time, so we understand their requirements. Our technicians perform gas leak repair that meets code, passes pressure tests, and restores your ability to heat, cook, and run hot water safely.
Once everyone is safe and the gas is off, call us to schedule professional inspection, gas line repair, and safe restoration of service.

Why Safe, Code-Compliant Gas Line Work Matters
Natural gas and propane are efficient, reliable fuels, but they must be handled the right way. A loose fitting, undersized pipe, or shortcut repair can lead to gas leaks, poor combustion, or fire hazards. Those are not problems you can ignore or “watch for a while.”
In many local neighborhoods, homes have a mix of original gas pipes plus later additions for new furnaces, fireplaces, or outdoor grills. Over the years, different people may have tapped into the line without checking whether the system could handle it. That is when you start seeing weak flames, equipment lockouts, and safety shutoffs.
Our team follows current fuel gas codes, manufacturer instructions, and local inspection requirements on every single gas line installation. We do not aim for “good enough”; we design and install your gas piping system so it will pass inspection, serve all connected appliances, and keep your home safe long term.
When Super Brothers Plumbing Heating and Air installs or repairs a gas line, we focus on:
- Correct pipe sizing based on BTU load and length of the run
- Approved materials for each part of the gas piping system
- Accessible shutoff valves at appliances and key transition points
- Clean routing through joists, walls, and mechanical spaces to protect the pipe
- Thorough pressure testing and leak detection before gas service is turned back on
This is careful, step-by-step work. We treat each gas piping service as if we were working in our own homes, because in a real sense, we are—our families live right here in the same communities we serve.
Common Problems That Point to Gas Line Issues
Most homeowners call us when they notice a clear problem: the heat is not working, there is a gas smell, or the gas company has posted a tag. These symptoms may point to a furnace part, a control issue, or a gas piping problem. Our job is to find the exact cause and fix it safely.
Call Super Brothers Plumbing Heating and Air if you notice any of the following at your home:
- Furnace starts and stops, clicks repeatedly, or fails to ignite on cold mornings
- Gas water heater runs but never seems to recover, especially during chilly weather
- Gas range or cooktop flames are weak, uneven, or go out when other appliances start
- Smell of gas by the meter, along basement ceiling pipes, or in mechanical rooms
- Utility company shuts off gas or posts a red tag requiring a licensed repair
- New gas appliance installed, but no line in the right location or line looks undersized
- Visible corrosion, rust, or damage on exposed gas piping or fittings
Sometimes the real problem is inside the appliance—a failed igniter, a sticky gas valve, or a safety switch. Other times, the furnace or water heater is starved for gas because the piping system is too small, damaged, or leaking. Our technicians understand both sides, so you are not stuck replacing expensive equipment when the true issue is the gas line feeding it.
Our Step-by-Step Gas Line Installation and Repair Process
When you are cold and stressed, you need a clear plan. Here is exactly what happens when you schedule gas line service with Super Brothers Plumbing Heating and Air.
1. Phone consultation and priority scheduling
Your first call connects you with a trained coordinator, not a chatbot or answering service. We listen to what is happening: Is your heat not working? Is there a gas smell? Is the gas company involved? Are there kids, older adults, or people with medical conditions in the home? This helps us assign priority and send the right technician.
2. On-site safety check and system evaluation
When the technician arrives, safety comes first. We check for active leaks, verify shutoff status, and test the system where possible. We look at your gas piping layout, pipe sizes, lengths, and how many appliances share each run. We also inspect the affected equipment—furnace, boiler, water heater, stove, or dryer—to see how everything is interacting.
3. Clear options and transparent pricing
After we gather the facts, we review options with you in plain language. You see exactly what needs to be done, what is optional, and what it will cost. Whether you need a short gas pipe repair at a leaking fitting or a full new line to support multiple appliances, pricing is laid out upfront so you are never surprised on the invoice.
Diagnostic credited toward approved repair.
4. Code-compliant gas piping installation or repair
Once you approve the work, we build or repair the gas line to current codes and manufacturer standards. We choose a route that balances performance, access, and appearance. Piping is secured to framing members, protected from damage, and sealed carefully as it passes through walls or floors.
5. Pressure testing and leak checks
After installation or repair, we pressure-test the system using approved methods. We verify each connection, valve, and transition point. On systems with multiple appliances, we check that each unit has adequate pressure when operating, so a dryer or stove turning on does not starve the furnace.
6. Appliance start-up and performance verification
When the gas is restored, we start your furnace, water heater, and other connected appliances. We check ignition, flame quality, venting, and safety controls. We do not leave until everything is running correctly and reliably.
7. Cleanup and final walkthrough
Our technicians protect floors and work areas, pick up debris, and respect your home. Before we leave, we walk you through everything that was done, show you new shutoff valves, and answer questions about your gas piping system and equipment.
By the time we finish, you know what was wrong, what we did to fix it, and how to operate your system safely. Most importantly, your gas line and heating equipment are no longer a question mark—they are dependable and ready for the next cold snap.
When Your Heat Is Not Working, It Might Be the Gas Line
Many no-heat calls start the same way: “The furnace worked last week, now it just clicks,” or “We wake up cold every morning even though the thermostat is set right.” It is natural to blame the furnace, but the real cause is not always inside the unit.
Gas furnaces rely on a steady, properly sized fuel supply. If the gas line is undersized, partially blocked, or compromised by corrosion, the furnace may short cycle, lock out, or shut down for safety. Replacing igniters and control boards without fixing the gas supply is like putting new tires on a car with a bent axle.
Because our technicians handle both heating repair and gas line service, we check the entire system, not just one piece. We test ignition systems and controls, and we also measure gas pressure at the appliance, check line sizing, and inspect for restrictions or damage.
One homeowner recently described their visit this way: “They diagnosed a failed igniter, showed me the part, and had heat running before the house got too cold. Upfront price, clean work, zero pressure.” That is how we approach every job—clear diagnosis, full explanation, and direct solutions.

Transparent Pricing and Service Guarantees You Can Understand
Most gas piping is hidden, which makes it easy to feel unsure about cost and scope. You cannot see inside walls or under floors, so you rely on the contractor to tell you what is needed. That is why we built our process around clarity.
Upfront, no-surprise, transparent pricing means:
- You see exactly what work we recommend and why before anything starts.
- You receive line-item pricing instead of vague estimates.
- We explain when a simple repair is safe and when a full replacement is the smarter move.
- We review any permit or inspection costs so nothing catches you off guard.
Our service visit includes a detailed diagnostic of your gas piping and affected equipment. When you approve the recommended gas line repair or replacement, the diagnostic fee is credited toward that work. You are not paying twice to solve the same problem.
We do not push unnecessary upgrades or pressure you into decisions. We simply lay out the options that keep your home safe and comfortable, then carry out the work you approve with care and attention to detail.

Scheduling: How Fast Can We Get to You?
When your furnace is down or the gas company has shut off service, waiting days for help is not realistic. You need real scheduling answers, not vague promises. We structure our calendar around urgent gas and no-heat calls.
We prioritize next-day dispatch and open emergency windows when possible.
Here is how we handle scheduling for gas line and heating emergencies in the local area:
- We reserve flexible blocks for urgent gas leak repairs and homes without heat.
- Households with no heat, no hot water, or tagged meters receive priority.
- We provide honest arrival windows and updates instead of leaving you guessing.
- Shorter jobs, such as small gas appliance hookups, can often be completed in a single visit.
Whether you live near main shopping corridors, close to transit routes, or in quieter side streets, our dispatch team maps routes to reach you efficiently and still leave enough time to do quality work in your home.
Serving Local Neighborhoods with Reliable Gas Line Installation
Our technicians spend their days moving through local neighborhoods—older streets with mature trees, newer subdivisions with open floor plans, and everything in between. Each style of home creates different challenges for gas line installation and routing.
In long-established areas, we often see original black iron piping that has been tapped and retapped for new appliances over the years. In newer developments, we frequently finish “stubbed out” gas connections for fireplaces, outdoor grills, or future basement finishes. We understand how these different systems age and what it takes to keep them safe.
We pay attention to local weather patterns too. Cold snaps put heavy loads on furnaces and water heaters, which means gas piping must be sized and installed to keep up without starving equipment. When we design or upgrade your gas system, we keep these real-world conditions in mind so you are not left in the cold when the temperature drops.
Whether you work downtown, commute along major corridors, or work from home full time, you depend on steady heat and hot water. Our gas piping and heating services are built around that need, not around what is easiest for us.
